right for you at row.co, last spoke the first interview, harris and walz, cnn exclusive tonight at nine it's thursday, august 29, right now on cnn this morning, new polls show kamala harris in a dead heat with donald trump across the sun belt, making significant gains against president biden's numbers ahead of his exit from the race. plus we are so calm in everything that you were doing and will continue to kamala harris and tim walz on the ground trying to reach out to key voters in june georgia, as again, they hone in on the sun belt states where they're going to do they're cnn interview tonight and they wanted donald trump there and thank god that we have a president who stands with our veterans instead of one who runs away from him. the trump campaign on defense over the controversy at arlington national cemetery, shifting the blame or trying to shift the

blame to the biden-harris white house all right. >> fine. >> here in washington alive. look at the capitol building on this thursday morning. >> good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us with just two months to go until the 2024 election tonight, right here on cnn, kamala harris will take part in her first major interviews since she ascended to the top of the democratic ticket. >> i accept your nomination and the heels of the democratic national convention harris, alongside her vice president we should pick tim walz will sit down with cnn's chief political correspondent, dana bash will be in the battleground, state of georgia yesterday, harris and walz kicked off a bus tour in the peach state, traveling through south georgia none election thursday so of course

it's a state that biden flipped in 2020. >> democratic senator raphael warnock saw success during the 2022 runoff election. democrats hoping to build on that. the harris deputy campaign manager tells cnn, quote it's a diverse coalition of voters, including rural, suburban, urban georgians, a large population of african american voters that live there a new fox poll shows us just how tight the racece is in georgia now, this is the way we frame it at cnn. we say there's no clear leader in a head-to-head matchup between harris and trump? but that is way different than the way it was when biden was at the top of the ticket. we also see in this poll that is effectively tied right now in arizona, nevada, and north carolina, one area that donald trump was leading in was of course the

economy that's what they want to focus on on the trump vance side today, they're going to two other critical swing states, michigan and wisconsin, joining me now, washington reporter for new york one, kevin fry and congressional reporter for politico, ursula perraneau. welcome to both of you. thank you so much for being here this morning kevin. let me start with you. i mean, basically, we're focused in on the sunbelt because kamala harris can make some of those states competitive. she's going to open up new paths to 270 electoral college votes because the biden path was very limited, it ran through the blue wall pennsylvania that one that one electoral college vote in omaha, nebraska. but if she can put arizona on the map, if she can put georgia potentially on the map nevada on the map, and i would say when i talk to sources in that order that they think she potentially could what do you see in your reporting in terms of how she has changed the race at the top of the ticket and what she needs to do if she actually wants to put those states in

play. >> right. so i mean, this is kind of the question of can she re-litigated in some of these states that basically brock obama did very well in, in 2008 and so the math that we've seen is that quite frankly, because she's now a top of the ticket, it has completely opened up this new potential avenue where she could maybe lose a blue wall state and still have electoral college votes to spare. and some of it comes down to look, you're looking at some of these sunbelt states where there's been a lot of net end migration. there's been a lot of movement is the states big growth in some of those major cities in the suburbs around them. and that opens up new opportunity he saw it in atlanta, we saw it in georgia in 2020. and now the question that some are looking at, for example, north carolina, could you look at some of those votes where they haven't gone for barack obama since 2000 aid. the governor of that state last week told me on the convention floor that he's having that 2008 feeling now that's obviously, you know, positive spin but yes, everybody wants to be having the 2008 the democratic side but certainly

there's definitely the use the word of the day, the vibe that is heading in that direction ursula. what do you see here? i mean, let's let's put up black voters across the sun belt in this, in this poll because you can see that trump is at 19% among black voters. this is, this is again across its arizona, georgia, nevada, and north carolina 79% of black voters say they want to vote for harris, 19% say for trump. you can see it there. smart stra, i've talked to say the over under here for trump is 20%. if he is getting 20% with black voters, it becomes very difficult to see how some of these states end up in play for kamala harris, 19 is just below that. she really does need to be doing a little better than she is. there. can they get there i mean, that's the difficulty of running a presidential race and literally three months which is so unusual. >> usually you have a year-and-a-half roughly give or take to play this out and what

you mean unprecedented an absolutely unprecedented he's. got this momentum that she's obviously trying to pick up and we're seeing that in this polling here, we're seeing this excitement where democrats are saying they've got that 2008 feeling. i've been hearing that from congressional democrats over the last few weeks. but whether it's going to be able to hold until november and whether she's going to be able to hold off trump from trickling back in with those critical groups for democrats crowds including black voters, is to be seen. i think things like the interview tonight are going to be a big test of whether she can hold her appeal and not lose this excitement that's become so signature to her bid right now. and additionally, whether she defines maybe some of her more policy positions that could be another tap into some of those demographics that she's hoping to increase turnout. we haven't heard a lot of specifics from her in policy yet. again, it's a short campaign. she's getting a lot in very quickly, but it'll be interesting to see if that comes out there, kevin, let's talk about the interview tonight, because this is a big high-stakes moment. it's always made more high-stakes by the fact that they waited as long

as they did to do it. it's going to be a joint sit down. republicans are, have been critical of her for that. but what does she need to do tonight beyond just not make a mistake or i mean, you don't want to repeat of the lester holt interview that's now become so infamous, infamous for a few years ago. i think you're very much correct. she needs to make the policy in roads that might appeal to those voters that she seems to be hemorrhaging on where, for example, black voters, what can she say to them? maybe add a little more meat to the bone when it comes to some of the policies she's already fleshed out without offending someone along the way and quite frankly, i mean, look, you just want to allow the vibe allow the excitement to continue without disrupting that. i mean, she's on a good trajectory right now. she's had an amazing month in terms of making sure that the i'm fuzi asm is there. you just don't want to kill it when it's coming along so well, right? >> one, ursula, what role does the former president donald trump play here? because we've obviously seen him struggle to stay on message and the way a

lot of his supporters want him to, karl rove put it this way, mr. trump is in a better position now than he was at this point in 2016? in 2020, when ms harris is stronger than mrs. clinton, hillary clinton and mr. biden were the former president, will have to up his game and to this point, he's co headlining a fundraiser at brian kemp, the governor of georgia is co headlining a fundraiser for the former president because apparently he was prompted to bury the hatchet there that does seem to be a move in the right direction potentially, if you're the trump campaign. >> yeah, i think we are seeing trump get a little antsy on the summer. he has been rather quiet throughout the biden weeks whenever republicans were hoping to run against biden. but now that harris has become the nominee, we're seeing and pop off a little more on truth, social, we're seeing him target her a little more directly. but at the end of the day, he is than his advisers are trying to push him to be a little more disciplines to not cause any chaos when it could be a direct juxtaposition to this sort of stability that harris is trying to offer in this idea of, we're not going back, we're going to be

joyful, et cetera. >> all right. kevin, friday or slipper? no. thank you very much for being here this morning. i really appreciate your time. don't forget tonight on cnn cnn so far the most anticipated interview of this election season, kamala harris, tim walz will sit down with dana bash for the first interview. harris and walz, a cnn exclusive that starts tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern and coming up right here on cnn this morning, ukrainian officials set to make their push again on the u.s. to lift restrictions on american weapons in hopes of expanding there during offensive into russia plus kamala harris is momentum showing up in sun belt states will dig further into those inroads in harris has made compared to where president biden stood and the trump campaign with harsh words as the controversy over his grave side photo off continues here to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent americans who lost their lives. it's the kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel as she won't even do an investigation into what happened. and she

war. >> as soon as possible in a fair way for ukraine. and the world as a whole the request to ease restrictions on the use of long-range u.s. >> weapons comes after ukraine launched a surprise offensive into russian territory earlier this month ukraine, is making the push now ahead of the november election because their leaders fear a donald trump victory could spell the end of u.s. support. cnn's max foster joins us live now from london with more on this max good morning to you. what else do we know about what the ukrainians want to do here? what's the target list and how far do they want to go? >> 00, we don't show the precise list they have presented targets within russia before to the u.s. but this seems like a more of a tailored list, if you like perhaps to respond to some of the concerns in washington about any sorts of attacks within russia. and that leads to an escalation attention with russia and the u.s and nato, for example it's really, i think this is the

best being spun by ukraine is a large last-ditch effort really to convince the americans that they should be able to use u.s. nato weapons in order to attack august within russia so in many ways is seen by the ukrainians are make or break, and it's another test really of how flexible washington is on what we're red lines that you shouldn't be going into russia, you shouldn't be attacking within russia as you that just be defending ukraine. but as we've seen, kasie, those red lines have moved we've been shifted as this war has gone on so max, congresswoman abigail spanberger was asked about this yesterday. >> she's also running for governor in virginia. this how she frames she's democrat she framed the question. let's watch so the ability of the ukrainian people and the ukrainian military to defend its citizens and its civilian populations is paramount during the conversations that are,

that are upcoming. >> i hope there will be clear delineation of what the purposes of the different requests that they might be making. our and the tactical and strategic plans that they are putting forth that that might require additional permissions in terms of the how it is that they're utilizing u.s provided weapons so max, that's interesting to me because she's talking about and this is something you hear a lot from people who are skeptical of what the ukrainians are doing. they want to, they want to plan, right? they'll say we need to see a plan for this. we've been sending lots of money. we need you to tell us how you're actually going to do it. spanberger is a relatively moderate democrat as things go, it seems to underscore to me why zelenskyy is doing this now, because when they get farther in i mean, it's already a problem even if kamala harris were to win the election, there's still going to be a problem in congress getting this money out the door that

has to factor in here now yeah, i mean, america has accepted that ukraine has a right to defend itself. i think ukraine is saying it can't defend itself just by battling within its own borders. a good example is ewing using u.s. defense missile defense systems we had this race bean of missiles going across ukraine over the weekend, didn't we? earlier this week, and ukraine saying they couldn't defend themselves because they couldn't fire into russian air space. they're firing too late. in terms of defenses. so that's one example. maybe there would be some movement, perhaps they could argue to america that we need to go into russian air space in order to defend ourselves. it's not an aggressive move into russia per say, it's just about defense. i think that's where common ground can be. but they have shown they can be aggressive in america allows him to do that by going into the kursk region of russia, will wait to see. i

mean, it's a really crucial meeting and it's a big test really of how america handles this and doesn't escalate things further. >> yeah, for sure. all right. max foster for us this morning. max, very grateful to have you. thank you so much. all alright, coming up after the break here, new reporting on fake social media accounts and the impact that they're having on the presidential election. plus republicans targeting the daughter the judge in trump's hush money trial with a subpoena that and more coming up in the morning round-up the tv moments that took culture over the edge. people are watching and then our world he had an explosive reverberation tv on the edge from airs sunday, september 22, did nine on cnn ever worry that you're drinking too much? >> take back control with orhelp or health provides access to medication proven to make it easier to drink less

in washington. >> a live look at los angeles on this thursday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. vice president kamala harris and governor tim walz waking up the south georgia today, the campaign zeroing in on winning back sunbelt states that were critical in the 2020 election since accepting the nomination. harris has been trying to turn her momentum into votes in places like georgia, new polling shows that these efforts may be working, or at least that she has an opening the latest fox news poll shows harris 48 to 46 against donald trump in georgia. still no clear leader in the race, but clearly movement since the top of the ticket change, joe biden had trailed behind trump in similar surveys taken earlier this year in that state. now, the trump campaign has seen enough that they are trying to bury the hatchet with georgia governor brian kemp trying to win georgia after losing it in 2020 the president has some personal disagreements with brian kemp and brian kemp have some personal disagreements

with the president, but they're both big enough to put the country over personal interests. >> it's important that donald trump, despite the fact that he has disagreements with a number of people who have endorsed him he's willing to say, we are the big tent party all right. >> joining us now to discuss two mitchell washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution and catherine lucey, white house reporter for the wall street journal. welcome to both of you. >> i it and nobody better to talk to you about georgia. i'm thrilled to have you this morning with all this new a polling that we're seeing. and this is something we're looking at a kind of across the sun belt. i'm really interested to know what you're reporting is telling you about the state of the race in georgia. my understanding from talking to sources has been that there's an opening there for harris, but so far the republicans, i'm talking to are pretty skeptical that she can convert it into a wind and for that state, what are you hearing? >> so very similar to what you're hearing because there are things working for and against president vice president harris working for her is the fact that women, younger voters, and black voters are very energized by

her campaign. and in a state like georgia, where black voters make up a larger segment of the population than in other states. that's an important voting bloc. of course, we know women, especially suburban women in metro atlanta, for example, that's an important voting bloc for democrats and again, younger voters of georgia, democrat graphics are changing the status, getting younger and more diverse, so that all makes things look up for her. however georgia is still a state where other than our two u.s. senators who were on the ballot in 2020. every other statewide elected official is a republican and the difference between 20202024 is our senators are not on the ballot. so harris, if she is going to win, she's going to basically have to do it by herself. she won't have other races on the ballot to drum up enthusiasm and turnout. and that's why republicans think it's gonna be harder for the democratic ticket to win this year. >> catherine, what are your

harrison democratic sources, white house sources telling you about this? >> i mean, i think the thing that's clear in both georgia, but the other states we see in this poll is just that the pathways for harris have opened up. write that the polling has improved for her since she took over the top of the ticket when biden was the candidate increasingly, the view was that the only way for him to when this was through the midwest through pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. and now they just see more states in play, whether they can convert all these dates to your point is entirely unclear, but they see more options so that's why you see them out campaigning today in georgia. that's why you're going to see them and they're out in rural areas, they're trying to lift vote from different parts of the state. there. so they are they are really aggressively making a play for these states because they see possibilities in these places all right, let's turn now to this. >> the trump campaign is defending the trip that donald trump took to arlington national cemetery this week after reports of an altercation between campaign officials and

someone who worked at the cemetery, trump was there to mark the three-year anniversary of the bombing outside kabul's airport that killed 13 u.s. service members during the chaotic evacuation of afghanistan you can see he was at a wreath laying ceremony here. this is all fine. the controversy stems from trump's graveside photo op. it happened in an area of arlington that is known as section 60. this is where many fallen veterans from iraq and afghanistan wars are buried. a cemetery worker attempted to stop trump photographers from taking photos and video in this area because partisan political campaign activities are prohibited by federal law in army national cemetery's the cemetery says that a report was filed about the incident, but didn't give any more details. donald trump's tiktok account even released a video from his visit. it showed some of the moments grave side that he had their his running mate, j.d. vance, has this to say about

it? >> it is amazing to me that you have apparently somebody at arlington cemetery, some staff member had a little disagreement with somebody and they have turned the media has turned this into a national news story. >> and democratic lawmakers now pushing back against the trump campaign's visit to take that sacrifice. >> and twist it and exploited for partisan political gain it's shameful it's shameful and is not only shameful it's illegal all right. >> tia catherine are back here. catherine the thing that struck me here and that i'm interested to hear you weigh in on is that there's a family member, so there are family members who say they invited trump to do this, to come graveside, right. and that that's why it was okay. that there were

photographers there. however, they clearly don't speak for all family members of people who are buried in section 60 and there is another family whose the headstone for their loved one was in this photo op, that trump took there and they talked to the new york times. they say that they fully support another families quest for answers and accountability about the afghanistan withdrawal. but they also say that according to our conversation with the cemetery, the trial campaign staffers didn't adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to this other families grave site that lies directly next to this is the sister my brothers grave. we hope that those visiting the sacred site understand these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and they're honored and respected according respected accordingly we also, we didn't show what j.d. vance actually said about harrison

democratic criticism here, let's, let's play that. the rest of his remarks, please. >> to have those 13 americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful. kamala harris is disgraceful way to talk about a story out of those 13 brave innocent americans who lost their lives. it's the kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened she wants to yell at donald trump because he showed up she can she can go to hell catherine, what are you hearing about this? >> again i my sort of focused on the families here yeah that's right. >> i mean, there are multiple families who are dealing with this and to our represented in this part of the cemetery and obviously at the new york times reporting there were different feelings about this visit and so that's just a that's a sensitivity that folks have to deal with and real people are not getting caught up into this

political storm around this visit. and i think you can tell from their comments that that's that's tough for these folks. >> i'm stepping back, i mean, this obviously this incident is something i think the trump campaign is trying to highlight. >> the withdrawal, the fallout from withdrawal. they see that as something that's effective for them but some of the chaos around this visit i'm not sure how helpful that is to the trump campaign. i and it's not clear that this is that this narrative is helpful as they are trying to drive a more clear message about leadership and accountability here. >> yeah well, tia, the former president, has also made a number of remarks about americans who have been killed or wounded inaction that have not been terribly complimentary yeah, it still instead of this being away for the trump campaign to highlight a problematic occurs, a problematic event during the biden administration, which was

the afghanistan withdrawal, which i think is something that is a valid, you know, political point to make as harris runs for president, right? but instead of stopping there in making that point the trump campaign now has created this narrative that feeds into what people already believe about him. is that not only does he not understand military service, but that he doesn't respect military service. and now that is becoming what we're discussing instead of the afghanistan withdrawal. and that's entirely because of choices made by donald trump in his campaign. so even j.d. vance saying, you know kamala harris can go to hell if she wants to criticize us on that i think i think he might regret those words because it's not just kamala harris or the harris-walz campaign or even and just democrats who are criticizing what happened at arlington national cemetery, the most famous cemetery in america. it's better in

groups. it's going to be military families, gold star families, and will j.d. vance tell them to go to hell? i think he probably wouldn't, but they're going to be asking him, what does he mean by those comments? it's just seems like a very unforced error for what started out as a very valid critique of the biden-harris administration. >> all right. tia mitchell, catherine lucey. thank you both very much for being here today. i appreciate it. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, dozens of fake pro-trump accounts discovered on the platform formerly known as twitter, using stolen or a.i. generated images of unsuspecting influencers plus the very impressive caitlin clark setting another wnba record, bleacher report up next a heart attack. >> do they have life insurance? know? >> but we have life insurance john, i'm trying to find something we can afford

tremendous potential, but it also has potential to destroy a.i. it's very dangerous thing. you've got to be we've got to be very careful with artificial intelligence that was donald trump earlier this month discussing the dangers of a.i. >> it's potentially influence elections. >> those dangerous real this morning, we've got new reporting on dozens of fake pro-trump accounts on x, formerly known as twitter, using images of european influencers without their knowledge, some of them apparently generated by a.i. >> technology. the accounts depict young women promoting trump and encouraging their thousands of followers to vote for the former president to be honest, what was my reaction? that was my reaction because i have nothing to do with the united states was trump. the political thanks over now, cnn

senior media analyst sara fischer joins us live now from new york. >> sarah, good morning. wonderful to see you as always. so what do we know about these fake pro-trump accounts? is it some sort of coordinated effort? what do we know about who is behind it and how it came to be? >> it definitely looks like some sort of coordinated effort for a few reasons. kasie, one, a lot of these accounts or all posting the same types of messages and they contain english language errors that are all the same across these accounts. so we assume that whoever is doing this is one big group is a state backed group is an independent group, we're not quite sure we do know that russia, iran, and china have targeted the u.s. >> in the past. so if you were to assume this was a state backed group, likely one of those folks but the big thing is when it's a coordinated campaign like this, you're able to scale much faster if it's one person who's trying to steal these images and photos re-post them, edit them. this takes a long time. the cnn investigation found that these

accounts came together pretty quickly. grew audiences very quickly. he can't really do that unless you are coordinated really interesting. >> sara, i mean, what are the what are the hurdles to doing something like this? i mean, you touched on the fact that it's hard for a single person to make something like this. but if you are this kind of an entity, is this just a question of pushing a couple of buttons now? easy is it for somebody to launch something like this you know, it's fast ending. >> kasie on the a.i. from most of these images are not fully created with ai. they took someone's existing photos and they use probably not even full a.i. technology. they could just use photoshop or something pretty simple to superimpose like a maga they'll go on to their hat. reason that is important is because a.i. tech, while super advance is not perfect at recreating humans and in particular, the same human over and over and over. there are some obvious errors

that a.i. will still make for example, the lighting on your face. it is very different in terms of where you're sitting, different parts of your body reflected a.i often matt gaetz is very wrong, especially with things like ears. ears should look read kasie when light shines behind, often gets that wrong as guess hands wrong all the time when it comes to this type of technology, it's not actually as useful as you think most of what people are using right now now is simple things like photoshop, and they're stealing real people's images because that's actually more realistic than trying to recreate something entirely new but the reason that's actually a huge threat is when you're using real people's stuff, kasie, it's a lot a harder for the tech platforms to detect it. and so that's why i think they were able to grow a pretty sizable operation without getting caught. >> and that's why we're hearing now from some a real person, a real european person with very little stick in the u.s. election talking to us about how her face has been used. fascinating sara fischer. thank you so much. i really appreciate your time this morning thank you. all right.

time now for sports dodgers superstar shohei ohtani, haven't another great season in l.a. but last night and he got up staged by his dog, andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report. andy. good morning. >> good morning. kasie, you know, we've seen some great first pitches over the years, right? but i'm not sure if there's ever been one better than shohei ohtani's dog, d coy last night. so thani bring in diicot to the ballpark because it was their bobblehead night and check out the massive lines to get into secure that bobblehead all the fans tried to make sure they were one of the first 40,000 to get into gaetz. now come game time though. it was decoys turn to gi and he brought the ball from the mount through a totty further first beds. any gave him a high five is adorable. and then it was ohtani putting on a show. he had his 42nd home run of the season in the first sitting, then he would still to basis to get him to 42 steals for the season ohtani, he's looking to become the first player ever to hit 50 homers
